Who plans America's Birthday Party? Why America's 250th Anniversary Matters to Ohioans

Join Todd Kleismit, Executive Director of the America 250-Ohio Commission and Taylor Tomu, Community Outreach Manager with the America 250-Ohio Commission, for a look into how Ohio is preparing for the nation’s 250th anniversary. He’ll discuss the wide network of partners involved- from local communities to statewide organizations- and what this coordinated effort means for civic engagement, education, and cultural celebration across Ohio. This conversation will explore why the semiquincentennial matters at the local level and how the commission is helping to bring the celebration to life. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss how to get involved in their own communities.
